<p data-path-to-node="1">If your HP printer is showing <strong data-path-to-node="1" data-index-in-node="30">"Offline,"</strong> you are likely facing a <strong data-path-to-node="1" data-index-in-node="65">2026 Network Handshake Failure</strong>. With the rollout of new high-speed protocols this year, many routers are assigning "Dynamic IP" addresses that do not match your computer's established print path, causing immediate connectivity drops.</p>

<p data-path-to-node="4">In 2026, the primary cause for printers dropping offline is <strong data-path-to-node="4" data-index-in-node="60">IP Lease Expiration</strong>. When your Internet Service Provider (ISP) refreshes your signal, the printer often fails to re-announce itself to the cloud.</p>

<p data-path-to-node="8">Follow these steps to force your printer back online and stabilize the 2026 connection:</p>
<p data-path-to-node="9"><strong data-path-to-node="9" data-index-in-node="0">Step 1: The Manual IP Handshake (EWS)</strong> On the printer, tap the <strong data-path-to-node="9" data-index-in-node="62">Wireless icon</strong> to find your current IP Address (e.g., <code data-path-to-node="9" data-index-in-node="115">192.168.1.XX</code>). Type this IP into a web browser on your computer to open the <strong data-path-to-node="9" data-index-in-node="191">Embedded Web Server (EWS)</strong>. Go to <strong data-path-to-node="9" data-index-in-node="224">Network > IPv4 Configuration</strong> and change the setting to <strong data-path-to-node="9" data-index-in-node="279">Manual (Static)</strong>. Set the Manual DNS to <code data-path-to-node="9" data-index-in-node="318">8.8.8.8</code> (Google DNS) to bypass local server lags.</p>
<p data-path-to-node="10"><strong data-path-to-node="10" data-index-in-node="0">Step 2: Disable "Use Printer Offline"</strong> On your PC, go to <strong data-path-to-node="10" data-index-in-node="56">Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners</strong>. Select your printer and click <strong data-path-to-node="10" data-index-in-node="140">Open Print Queue</strong>. Under the <strong data-path-to-node="10" data-index-in-node="168">Printer</strong> menu, ensure <strong data-path-to-node="10" data-index-in-node="189">"Use Printer Offline"</strong> is unchecked. <em data-path-to-node="10" data-index-in-node="225">Tip: If it is already unchecked, toggle it <strong data-path-to-node="10" data-index-in-node="268">ON</strong> and then back <strong data-path-to-node="10" data-index-in-node="285">OFF</strong> to reset the 2026 driver status.</em></p>
<p data-path-to-node="11"><strong data-path-to-node="11" data-index-in-node="0">Step 3: The Universal Hard Reset</strong> While the printer is <strong data-path-to-node="11" data-index-in-node="54">ON</strong>, pull the power cord from the back and the wall outlet. Wait <strong data-path-to-node="11" data-index-in-node="118">60 seconds</strong>, then restart your <strong data-path-to-node="11" data-index-in-node="148">Router</strong> and <strong data-path-to-node="11" data-index-in-node="159">PC</strong>. Plug the printer back in. This forces a 2026 "Clean Boot" and re-establishes the network handshake.</p>
